Stolen History
Starting NPC: Belen in Meso at 35k 42k in Melos Territory, good/neutral Melos faction requiredLevel Requirement: 45? and completion of the Love of a Nereid quest.
Comments on Solo, Grouped, or Battlegrouped: I soloed this quest as a 47 valewalker, but died three times at the final encounter before finally killing Bryesia and her guards. VWs solo well to begin with, so probably best to bring a friend to help. A level 50 could probably solo it, but then a 50 likely wouldn't need either the xp or the so-so item.
Steps:
Version 1Talk to the starting NPC, Belen in Meso at 35k 45k in Melos Territory.
Find Khahet at 43k 50k in Notos.
I found the Skyros Guards at /loc 9779 29259.
Kill Skyros guards to make the named mob, Koryna, pop at the main Skyros camp.
Found Evios and Zorion at /loc 52629 29409 (they are much higher in the water than anything else around there, so look up) and found Naxos Guards at /loc 44172 23586 Dec 30

Version 2
Talk to the starting NPC, Belen in Meso at 35k 45k in Melos Territory.
After talking to Belen initially, you go talk to Actanei, who is your Melos "contact" for the rest of the quest. She is one rock south of Belen, at 34798, 46239.
Khahet was orange to 47, and came linked with a blue sobekite rager.
The skyros guards (yellow to 47) both come when you pull one, and as soon as the second one is dead, Koryna (also yellow) pops and comes right at you. You have about 10 seconds to rest. The same goes for Bryesia and her two Naxos guards. Bryesia was orange to 47 and can cast stuns.
If you kill the Naxos guards but die to Bryesia (like me), she despawns before you can return to the spot via shark from Stygia or Volcanus havens. You have to wait for at least one guard to repop and then she will spawn again when you kill it. Feb 2
